Fletcher returns


Recommended Posts

Just can’t see how bringing back Fletch will suddenly transform us back to  winning ways , we have been extremely poor lately , maybe if he nets early in a game we gain in confidence and improve ? .Has it all been down to Fletchers absence this relegation form ? Anyway great to have him back .

Before his injury we were in great from, challenging the top 2 and scoring, since (with the exception of Leeds away) we have been 5hite, losing and not scoring.

Doubt he will be back this week. Probably needs a run out with the U23s. Don't want us to rush him and risk him breaking down again.

 

It would be nice to have Fletcher and Wickham up front, they'd be a handful for any defence. If we get Fox back and Luongo we could get a few points  from games.

Pretty much, yeah.

 

Our 'system' involves hoofing it to Fletcher, him doing something with it and then fashioning a few chances. Nobody else in the side can do the job he does, even though he is not prolific (although having a good scoring season) he is essential to the way we play.

He's also the only one who can understand Bannan.

Fletcher will be a welcome return, but I wouldn't expect miracles from him given that our all round play has gone down the toilet since Christmas.

 

What's happened to Luongo though? He's done a Matias, had an unjust red card 3 game ban overturned but then got mysteriously injured and disappeared anyway.

#swfc boss Garry Monk says Morgan Fox trained this week, hoping for return. Luongo, Reach & Odubajo still out. Stephen Fletcher been back in training this week, real positive; has to be under consideration for this weekend, big ask for 90mins but will use if can.

What have we got to lose?

he may not come back in the form he was in before his injury, that maybe 50/50.

we wouldn't want to lose him again through 'reoccurrence' of his injury (too much, too soon, as was tried by a previous manager, see k.lee for details), or we maybe end up sticking our noses in the relegation squabble.

subs appearances for a couple or more, before diving in at the deep end, though to get pressure off him, monk may figure differently.

be interesting to see how he and our loanees set up.

Missing piece of the jigsaw. The only striker in the squad who can utilise Monk’s tactics. Also the only one that can hit a barn door. Also Fletch brings out the best in Bannan which is crucial.

Hope you are right , I’m not convinced it’s suddenly going to turn round . Errors are occurring all over the place !!!!!!
